Villain Quotations
I like not fair terms and a villain's mind.
William Shakespeare
An excellent man, like precious metal, is in every way invariable; A villain, like the beams of a balance, is always varying, upwards and downwards.
John Locke
I think if you do something effectively whether you're the lover or the comic or the action guy or the villain like I play; movies are very expensive to make. Chances are you'll get asked to play that part again.
Christopher Walken
The more successful the villain, the more successful the picture.
Alfred Hitchcock
Maybe you're better to play a villain just straight out.
Sigourney Weaver
I'm not a villain, I've never hurt anyone. I'm just a tawdry character who explodes now and again.
Oliver Reed
I'd love to play a villain in a movie, the kind of bad guy you would never think of me being able to play. Like most people, I have a darker side I'd like to explore onscreen.
Garth Brooks
The same energy of character which renders a man a daring villain would have rendered him useful in society, had that society been well organized.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Uncle Junior is a criminal, which makes him a villain, so it makes people want to watch him. My whole life as an actor has been preparing for something like this.
Dominic Chianese
You have to love the guy that you play, even if you play the villain, you've got to love him.
Andy Garcia
